Note: Standard errors are in parentheses. Unstandardized coefficients are often reported for parameter estimates, because standardized values equate the means and variances (Bentein, Vandenberghe, Vandenberg, & Stinglhamber, 2005). WPR = likelihood of working past retirement age. N = 3,957. †p < .08. *p < .05. **p < .01. ***p < .001.
